"Don't let it go to your head boy, lot of pretty faces on this ship. If anything, its making yourself a bit ugly and different that'll catch my eye.". Tess laughed. Flittering was fun and stress releasing in this high pressure occupation. And if someone was responsive to it, even better. It was a fun game, but she had yet to see it become more then just that with more then one or two people.

Marcus smiled crookedly and hummed. " yeah that could work, we'd be unemployed though. Kinda like having a pay check...hey! We could be space pirates!" He said excitedly, bumping her slightly and grinning down at her. "It'dbe fun, you pilot I'll be the gun slinger."

"No faster way to learn" sighed Tess, raking the fingers of one hand through her bangs to tuck them back into place. "You're lucky you're good looking though, people will be more likely to help you out". She added with a wink.

Marcus nodded slowly, before wrapping an arm around her waist and tugging her closer and against his side. " its gonna suck, but just for a sec". he mumbled into her hair.

"Worse then that sometimes, but best not to try to figure out what they'll dish at you" laughed Tess, "just remember, doesn't hurt to kiss up to them"

Marcus straightened up a bit, frowning slightly. "Look Rin, its gonna suck for him whether you wait or not " he pointed out, now on the edge of his bunk. "He'll be fine if he's as good as a guy as you say. But you can't just drag this out. Hes gonna find out eventually, and it'll be better if you tell him now when its only been a week instead of informing him you've been cheating for months." Maybe a bit bitter in his tone, but he didn't like this sneaking around at all. And it felt wrong. Which sucked cause he knew what was between them wasn't wrong.

"Good! So you're not a complete idiot." Tess winked. "Here, I'll show you where to go to request supplies. You're gonna want to get real friendly with the supply sarg while you're here."

Listening patiently Marcus leaning against the wall at the back of bunk. "Mkay," he said with a slow nod when she had finished. "So, what pahe are you on?" He prompted, folding his hands on his chest and watching her face for hints as to what she would say. Privately he was hoping she had come to tell him it was done and over with John but, somehow doubted that was the case.

"Bit early for flatter, keep up don't want ya to get lost!" Joked Tess, glancing back at him before heading for the 'basics'. "Since your a pilot, figuring you know where the hanger is huh?"

Marcus moved over to make room for her on his bunk, admittedly surprised by the reason for her visit. "Talk? Last time we talked you punched me " he pointed out at an attempt at lightning what he was worried might be a tense situation.

Tess laughed with a mischievous grin, shaking her head as she to go to her feet. "Boy you never want to be at my mercy". She winked, leaving her tray and gesturing for him to follow her out. " we'll start with the basics."

"Yeah that was uncalled for." Kyle said turning to Chad. "Apologies are necessary."
"What!? You gotta be kidding!". Chad gaped in disbelief before yelping in pain. Kyle's hand had lashed out and was now hauling Chad to his feet by his ear.
" come on, March!". He barked, dragging a whining and whimpering Chad along behind him and dipping his head with a smug smile to Rin on his way past.
"Hey, good timing" sighed Marcus with a tired smile when he recognized Rin in the door way. "What's up?".

Forgotten History

Tess cracked a grin at that, looking over at him. "One for subtleties huh?". She teased before finishing off what was left on her plate. Leaning back in her chair then she looked over at Richard expectantly after watching Rin go with a worried expression. " what would ya like to see?"

"Look he took mine and shredded it! It's freezing in this tin can I need something to warm up with! Not all of us got girls or guys to bundle up with.". Chad blustered in defense, earning blistering retorts from both Marcus and Casper who leapt to their feet at the insinuations.
" hey hey shut up and sit down! ". Shouted Kyle, deciding to cut it off before things got out of hand. Stepping over he yanked the wadded up blanket from Chad's hands. " wraith, your own damn fault you got yours torn. If you can't keep an eye in it you don't deserve it. Go get another one from the supply sarg. Ghost, you let him take it. You don't deserve it either so go fetch. Marshall law has spoken."
Casper darted forward, snatching the blanket out of Kyle's hands and scowling at him and Chad. "Go fuck yourself." He hissed at Chad before disappearing out the door.
"You just had to make a gay joke didn't you...". Groaned Marcus, face buried in his hands and clearly exasperated with this all.

"Ya get used to it, just takes a week or two of getting lost then ta da! Next thing you know you're giving out directions to green horns.". Tess said with a shrug, pushing her food around with her fork.

Marcus was exhausted, currently sitting on his bunk glaring across the way at Kyle with Casper mumbling next to him.
" this is serious Chad". He snapped, looking past Kyle now to where Chad was hiding. "You dont mess with a guy like that! It's just being a dick!"
"Yeah give back my blanket!". Casper huffed folding his arms and practically pouting. " its important man! Dont make me skin you!"

"Fascinating story. Welcome to the mess hall.". Tess said with a grand sweep of her hand, eyeing the cigar with an amused look. She had met this kind of guy before, hot shots looking to make big names out of themselves. And so far she had to admit she was amused, but not impressed. " hey eat up both of you. Real food is scarce, you know there are starving kids somewhere probably. "
